Sandboarding transforms desert dunes into natural slopes for an unforgettable experience. Using boards specifically crafted for sand, riders glide smoothly down the dunes. The sport is accessible to everyone – no previous board experience needed. After a few basic instructions and practice runs, you’ll be confidently riding the sand waves.
Erg Chebbi provides an impressive variety of dunes for sandboarding. The landscape offers everything from gentle slopes where beginners master their first descents, to towering dunes reaching 150 meters that challenge more adventurous riders. The fine Saharan sand creates natural runs of different lengths and steepness, each offering its own exciting adventure.
Imagine standing atop a magnificent dune, board secured to your feet, the vast Sahara stretching before you. The descent begins, and as you gain confidence, each run becomes more thrilling than the last. Between rides, catch your breath while taking in panoramic views of the endless sea of sand. Whether you choose a single run at sunset or spend hours perfecting your technique, sandboarding offers a unique way to experience the desert’s majesty.
Morning and late afternoon sessions provide ideal conditions for sandboarding. The sand is cooler and more compact, offering better boarding conditions. These times also treat riders to spectacular lighting across the dunes, perfect for photos and videos of your desert adventure.
